Future-proofed security for wearable technology

Driven by customer demand, the definition of “wearable technology” changes almost daily. Smartwatches, cameras, clothing and fitness trackers: all these technologies were unheard of a few years ago but are now commonplace. At G+D, our expertise means you can trust us to implement security solutions that exceed customer expectations. With G+D, you can focus on keeping up with changing trends – we handle the functionality.

Security that doesn’t compromise end-user convenience

G+D currently works with industry leaders like Intel, FitPay, Samsung, STMicroelectronics, and Infineon to create securely connected wearable devices, be that a watch, a fitness tracker, or the next-gen device to be introduced. We manage the connectivity "communications" to provide the ultimate in security, end-user convenience, and multi-functional use cases.

We nurture strong relationships

Our relationships with mobile network operators, public network operators, transit agencies, and other industry leaders are built on trust and mutual respect. Our customers rely on us to provide fully secure hardware, OTA communication channels, and lifecycle management for remotely connected devices, which includes the latest in wearables technology.

Our wearable offerings are commercially ready now. Product evolution is perpetual, as is development – we include functionality that supports the specific security needs of wearables.

Perfectly positioned for early adopters

So much of wearable technology is driven by early adopters, and this means we need to respond rapidly to a shifting market. Early adopters are all about fully-functional wearables and mobile devices. G+D offers an end-to-end solution that significantly shortens time to market. We cover the eUICC hardware element along with all the connectivity and security concerns that arise with remote activation and end-user lifecycle management of the device. Regardless of form factor, G+D inherently secures consumer credentials. For active and passive devices, G+D incorporates EMV security so transactions are protected at the highest levels. For smart wearables, it is one more level of security, as your identity is protected within the device via the embedded secure element: first rate, hardware-based security.

Convenience driven by functionality

According to an outlook report by CCS Insight, some 411 million smart wearable devices – worth a staggering $34 billion – will be sold in 2020. For wider adoption to occur, wearables must be configured to address multiple-use cases within a single device and avoid the current trend of short-lived value to the consumer. G+D helps increase stickiness for the consumer by making it possible to introduce more “attractive” wearables through increased functionality and value-added OTA (over-the-air) credential management. We partner with OEMs to improve the user experience, which results in increased adoption.
